My Mirror Image by Maybe Not (Candice And Alex’s) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 0178 

Candice’s gaze fixed on her apartment’s sealed door, her lips pressed firmly in frustration

She recalled Helen’s stern words but hadn’t anticipated such drastic measures

When she contacted the building’s management, she was met with a dismissive attitude

Apologies. Ms. Renault, we only handle the property. I suggest speaking with Mr. Elysian regarding your concerns,they advised

The Vestry Residence was home to the affluent, many of whom housed their mistresses there

Property managers had seen a lot of unpleasant instances where family members tried to reclaim properties after learning about adulterous affairs. The wealthy tenants were not to be trifled with. so the staff often overlooked such matters

Candice hung up the phone and left the complex

Fortunately, she had her documents with her so she could stay at a hotel for the time being before returning for her possessions

She was psychologically and physically drained, and she had barely responded to the realization that she had been evicted from her home

Luckily, there was a hotel near the apartment, so she didn’t have to go far, and immediately went to book a room

In the hotel lobby she encountered Yana. Her arms were linked with a handsome man

Yana was stunned when she saw Candice. What a coincidence,she said with a smile as she approached her. What brought you here?” 

Candice turned to Yana and said, I’m here to get some sleep.” 

Yana noticed Candice’s condition, and thought for a moment. Are you here to get away f home because you’re upset and can’t sleep?” 

from 

Candice said nothing. Only the wealthy youth would switch to hotel living for a change of scene

Yana reassured her. Don’t worry too much. Let people talk. Knowing who you truly are is what matters.” 

Despite Yana’s friendly and wellmeaning approach, Candice was eager for rest and blurted out. I’ve been evicted, and now I need a hotel to stay. Could you excuse me, Ms. Landor?”

Yana fell silent briefly before asking. Has Hanley been informed?” 

Without waiting for a reply. Yana released the man beside her

She grasped Candice’s hand and led her out, proposing. Skip the hotel. I’ll have Hanley fat He’s got a big house all to himself.” 

Yana dialed Hanley before Candice could intervene

Candice attempted to dissuade her, There is no need to trouble Hanley. It’s just a night at a hotel.” 

Her friendship with Hanley wasn’t intimate enough to impose such a favor

As Candice contemplated further refusal, Hanley answered the call. Yana bluntly instructed.Come to the Belmond Hotel to pick up Candy. I’ve got her waiting. This is your chance.” 

After a brief exchange, Yana said, Let’s discuss it when you arrive,then hung up

Holding Candice’s hand, she asked, Had dinner yet? If not, I’m buying. There’s a great dessert place close by.” 

With little appetite but knowing Yana’s persistence, Candice resignedly followed

With her grandfather’s condition and Yvonne persistently bothering her, Candice’s spirits low. Yana busied herself with her phone after ordering food

were 

Hanley arrived quickly. He was still in his work attire, jeans and black overalls, and was speckled with white paint. He’d come straight from his studio. His tall, lean figure was accentuated by his dark work clothes

Yana commented in a low voice, Since his youth, Hanley’s charming looks have always been a hit with the girls.” 

Candice had to admit that Hanley did indeed have strikingly handsome features

Unaware of Yana’s remark, Hanley maintained a stoic expression upon arrival. His eyes briefly rested on Candice, then his brow creased in concern

Have you lost weight?” 

His question caught Candice off guard. She realized that, in the midst of her chaotic life, she hadn’t noticed any weight change. However, considering her circumstances, it made sense

With Yana around, Hanley avoided delving deeper into his questions

Yana performed the majority of the talking during the meal. Candice would occasionally answer

As the meal wrapped up, Yana expressed her dissatisfaction with a sigh

You both are quite dull. This dinner would’ve ended sooner without me

Hanley was expressionless and countered, Even with you here, it would’ve ended sooner.” 

Yana wanted to arque but couldn’t think of anything to say. She looked at Candice and patted her shoulder reassuringly

Don’t worry too much. Things will get better. Reach out if you need anything.” 

This seemed to be Yana’s most heartfelt comment of the evening

Candice watched her depart with a smile

Alone with Hanley, he queried, “What about your luggage?” 

It’s locked inside my house.” 

Hanley frowned slightly and started towards the parking area, Candice following him

Feeling somewhat uneasy, she whispered, I wasn’t expecting Yana to call you. Maybe I should just return to the hotel.She didn’t want to bother him

Hanley came to a halt and turned to face her. Nadia and the others are concerned about you,he replied after a little pause. Come and meet them. I’ll take you to the hotel if you don’t want to remain at my house.” 

Phrased in such a way, Candice could hardly refuse

Hanley’s residence was in Dorrington City’s new villa district

When they arrived, Nadia and Ryan were waiting in the living room

Spotting Candice, Nadia rose and explained, We were about to have some snacks. Would you like something?” 

Candice declined politely, No, thank you.” 

Nadia accepted her decision. She drew her into a seat on the sofa

Candice took a peek around. The house was empty, with only the necessary furniture, yet the walls were beautifully decorated. A corner stacked with wood indicated the living room doubled as a workshop

The Boss was in the middle of making a frame when he got your call,Nadia casually remarked

He dropped everything and ran to you.Her tone echoed Yana’s playful manner

Candice appreciated the gesture. She knew Hanley was a wonderful man, and he was looking 

after her primarily because of Jackson

Her expression relaxed slightly. She raised her head to Hanley and said gently, Thank you.” 

Looking around at the materials in the corner, she realized she hadn’t touched any work relating 

to Hanley’s side because of her problems at home
